Admission

To receive help, you must first ask for it. This first step is extremely difficult for many people with addictions. That’s why our intake coordinators will be there to support you when you or a loved one will say “I need help”. That’s when our completely confidential process will start and we will determine what kind of treatment is needed.

What to expect

After being greeted by a volunteer from Bellwood, you will meet with finance staff to complete all the necessary financial documents. You will then meet one of our admission coordinators, who will evaluate your needs. The presence of a loved one or friend at this stage is highly recommended.

The volunteer will introduce the medical and nursing staff and take you to your room.

Once installed, you will be entitled to a visit of the places. Your guide will show you the property, list the guidelines and give you a glimpse of life in the center. Our caring community will provide you with all the support and guidance you need. Your participation in the programs will depend on your medical condition.

Food precautions

During the two weeks prior to arrival at the center, avoid eating foods containing poppy seeds, as they could skew your results on the drug test.

Cell Phones

Cell phones are not allowed in Bellwood. Please leave yours at home. However, if you have it with you when you arrive, we will keep it safe until you leave. Before you arrive, write down all the important information and phone numbers on your phone that you may need during your treatment.

Please note that, in accordance with our infection control policy, our staff will review all guest belongings in their presence upon arrival. Baggage and bags will be steamed. If necessary, the clothes will be subjected to instant drying.
